Katie Saull stands as one of the rising female atom-weight fighters. Though she started her career on a low note, today she rides a 3 fight winning streak which includes a win over popular MMA fighter, Andy Nguyen. In her most recent match-up she defeated former Invicta FC fighter, Katie Saull. She decided to take some time off to discuss future, rumors about UFC atom-weight division, training at SBG Ireland and more.

1. There were rumors that the UFC will open an atom-weightdivision soon. What are your thoughts on it? Do you feel thereare enough women to support the atom-weight division? My thoughts on the UFC opening an Atomweight Division are pretty straight forward in the sense that I think it is a must. There are enough women at 105 pounds competing but enough with a tremendous amount of skill. Some major promotions have inducted this weight class and continue to have them headlining cards as well.

2. If the UFC does not start an atom-weight class, will you move upto straw-weight? Do you plan on to try your luck in the USA ortry your hands in Asia, where the atom-weight division is takingthe lead? If the UFC does not open an Atomweight division I do not foresee myself moving up in weight as I am already rather small for 105 pounds. I think Invicta and other major organizations have quite a bit of competition to offer if nothing can happen with the UFC. I

plan to continue my journey towards a world title in Invicta, but plan to keep my head down and get the wins necessary in King of the Cage beforehand.

3. Atom-weight as of now, has four top contenders: 1. Jinh Yu Frey,2. Seo Hee Ham, 3. Ayaka Hamasaki and 4. Kanna Asakura. Whoaccording to you is the world number 1 amongst them? Do youplan on to fight in the promotion where you feel the worldnumber 1 is? I do plan on fighting where the number one contenders at 105 pounds are, and feeling it is right to fight the best when it is all said and done, and beat them. If I had to say who the best was at 105 lbs that is a tough one, but it is between Seo Hee Ham and Ayaka Hamasaki. The reason being is the depth of their competition. Kanna Asakura is amazing but has not had to face the likes of Seo Hee Ham or Jin Yu Frey. The two top ones have faced the best and won.

4. You are currently on a 3 fight winning streak. Do you seeyourself fighting for the KOTC women’s atomweight title next? I do see myself fighting for the KOTC Atomweight title next, though I have lost to Bi Nyguen in the past,that re match was offered to them before the Hinshaw fight and it couldn’t take place. I think due to whom I’ve beaten in the last 3, it only makes sense that I am offered the title fight.

5. You changed your camp to SBG Ireland. How has it affected you?How does it feel to work in a gym where former UFC championslike Conor McGregor have trained? Since moving to SBG Ireland it feels pretty outstanding training day to day amongst fighters as hungry as yourself, with the same

goals in mind. We all want to be the best and with the coaching of John Kavanagh, Owen Roddy and several others, I foresee that happening for the hardest and SMARTEST working fighters in our gym.

6. What are your next plans? My next plans are to win the KOTC Atomweight Title and then to defend it. Beyond those two remaining 5 round fights, I am almost certain big things are to come. What those are, I am unsure but I believe in my skill set and my coaches mind so we are supremely confident.

7. Women in the MMA world have time and again come out andsaid that looks play a role in their career. They have pointed outthat beautiful women get an unfair push. Do you think that istrue? Have you ever experienced any such problem? I believe that looks do play a large role in MMA for women, I haven’t yet experienced a problem first hand, I have only seen this happen on a UFC level. It doesn’t concern me a large amount because what tends to happen is when looks get an unfair push they get pushed into a fight they aren’t ready for, and it all evens out. Invicta is a great example of a promotion that doesn’t discriminate in terms of looks and takes a female fighter from any country, who deserves it, and gives them a chance to perform.

8. Do you have any other hobbies apart from fighting? I do not have a plethora of hobbies outside of fighting, as I work partime and need a lot of rest, what I do enjoy is time with my other half and animals are a fun past time. Due to the fact we are new to Ireland, visiting the Dublin Zoo that is a part of many good

causes, is fun for us. My work is in a Whiskey Shop in downtown Dublin, so getting to know new facts about Whiskey has been neat as well (I only partake in the tasting when there are no fights in sight haha)

9. A message for your fans. A message to the fans: “The Queen of the North” has been humbled and gone back to the drawing board more than once. Controversy is my best friend and since moving to Ireland we have a future world champion in the making. Winter is Coming.
